Hello you guys!! Hope your all well!!

Was reading an article yesterday about women using a kettle bell for toning....looks and sounds really effective and im thinking about giving it a try....just want toltone up and this sounds perfect.....it said to use it for an hour, 3 times a week as the muscles take 36 hours to recover and still burn fat during this time..its might b bo**ocks but im going to give it a go...

Thing is....where the hell do i get one??

I dont know...maybe it was just the specific exercises that go with it...worth a go though i guess...can imagine they are easier to handle than a dumbell with the exercises given...?

I've had a few female clients doing kettlebell work & it's a great one for power, co ordination, strength & fat burning. Works especially well on the glutes, hams & core. Get some proper instruction though first or you could come a cropper, and even a small KB will smart if it lands wher you don't want it to.

Yeah tell me about it,my knee cap got it after one bounced up off floor (missed catch) and smacked it...lol...

Go to newitts for some great deals on kettlebells...

Kettlebells are great, helped build some of the strongest guys on the planet in their day....

Saw a Russian guy at a circus last year throwing around a couple of Kbells weighing about 40-50 kilos each....

These things can be very humbling to even a seasoned bodybuilder and I have to admit I can't use much weight with any real proficiency. 14-16kg max before I become a real danger to myself & anyone in a 30 foot radius.

Don't let this put anyone off. I've not had any clients get too horribly injured using them.............

AussieMarc · 06-07-2007, 06:20 AM

KB's are great.. The turkish getup is great for core strength & power.. hell you can do so much with those things. but as said above.. be careful as they hurt if they hit ya :P

AussieMarc · 06-07-2007, 06:25 AM

oh and i personally like these ones...

im sure you can find some in the UK but we have a set of these at the studio. (not the exact brand.. ours are no-named and i cant remember where we got them from) but saves time and space trying to buy 5 different bells and different weights :P

NikiE · 06-07-2007, 10:18 AM

so they come in different weights do they?? What weight would you guys recommend...i have a pretty good core strength but dont want one too heavy so it becomes uneffective (cause i cant life the bloody thing...hehe)
